I have been copying my music from a USB 500GB HDD (out of my old laptop in a USB powered caddy) to my MBP, and then from the MBP to a 256GB Pendrive.
I didn't verify that the files had copied to the MBP correctly, I just assume they had as I played some of them.
I then copied from the MBP to the Pendrive.
I then deleted the copy on the MacBook.
I have been looking at some of the folders on the Pendrive and the MP3s in some of them literally disappeared in front of my eyes, as though they were getting deleted. Also some of the folders that I know definitely were full of MP3s are now empty!.
I think it might be a faulty Pendrive, so I tried to verify it using the Disk Utility.
After about 10 seconds I got the message "Error: Live file system repair is not supported" As in the picture below :-
Does that mean the Pendrive is faulty or is it that it may have been being indexed at the time?
What could cause the files to "disappear"?
